The Barry White Effect

I found an interesting article on the Huffington Post called: “Deep-Voiced Men Are More Attractive To Women, At Least When It Comes To Hooking Up”

I think it’s very simple. Men with low voices tend to be better endowed. Whether or not we are consciously aware of this fact, that deep voice is sexy because it sounds like the ultimate biological MALE.

This translates to a sense of being physically safe and protected, coupled with a powerful libido. Women know this type of man possess the ability to catalyze the most fulfilling sex life.

Subconsciously, women understand that the men with these characteristics are going to be very highly in demand because so many women will be drawn to them. Most of the men with deep voices know what power they have in the resonance of their voice. These types of men generally have options, so they can be picky when it comes to finding a mate.

So it seems like it’s a question of which wins out: a woman’s pleasure-seeking hormones or her idealism? The luckiest, most fortunate women pair up with a Barry White voiced man who’s monogamous.

Have a voice that sounds more like James Earl Jones than David Beckham’s slightly squeaky one? You’re in luck: a new study suggests women are more attracted to guys with a low-pitched voice when it comes to short-term flings.

But don’t go altering your voices just yet, guys: The study also suggested that women perceive men with deep voices as being more likely to cheat on them.

The study, published online in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, offers insight into how human voices evolved and how we choose our mates.

“Until now, it’s been unclear why women would like the voices of men who might cheat,” said Jillian O’Connor, the lead author of the study and a postdoctoral fellow at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. “We found that the more women thought these men would cheat, the more they were attracted to them for a brief relationship when they are less worried about fidelity.”
